If you are participating in the Direct Loan program, this booklet explains the repayment plans and helps you choose the one that is best for you. Includes suggestions on when and how to switch repayment plans and answers to frequently asked questions.GO >

If your school closed, owes you a refund, forged your signature, or certified your loan even though you didn't have the ability to benefit from the coursework, then you may qualify to have your student loan debt reduced or discharged.GO >

If you have defaulted student loans, you may be interested in the loan rehabilitation program. Make 12 consecutive monthly payments that are reasonable and affordable, and your loan will be reinsured.GO >
